Well Hello and Welcome to my final blog entry from NZ!! What a busy few days we have had since I was last in touch and have I got some stories to tell you!!! We left Queenstown and headed towards Milford Sound, really looking forward to getting there and seeing the place as we had heard so much about it. Drove past Te Anau and headed for the Sound and suddenly realised that we had no diesel left and then it dawned on us that Te Anau (which was 140km behi...
